Why do we keep seeing so many mass shootings in the United States over the past several years? Do people really genuinely want the answer? I get the impression that they don't. Perhaps that's because the real answer leads us into territory that is not very politically correct, and not very comfortable to look at, so people prefer to look elsewhere. Most Americans seem to be looking for a convenient answer, one that matches their politics and doesn't put them in a position where they might have to question their own part in the problem. This tendency to avoid reality and look for a quick fix instead is actually the beginning of the problem. ------- One in ten Americans using antidepressants: www.npr.org/blogs/health/2011/10/20/141544135/look-around-1-in-10-americans-take-antidepressants 400% Rise in antidepressant use: healthland.time.com/2011/10/20/what-does-a-400-increase-in-antidepressant-prescribing-really-mean/ FDA finds link between antidepressants and violence: www.psychologytoday.com/blog/mad-in-america/201101/psychiatric-drugs-and-violence-review-fda-data-finds-link healthland.time.com/2011/01/07/top-ten-legal-drugs-linked-to-violence/ FDA warning about SSRIs and suicide risk: www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/InformationbyDrugClass/ucm096273.htm Suicides Now America's Leading Cause Of Death By Injury: Study www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/24/suicide-leading-cause-death-us_n_1909772.html Overview of this phenomenon: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OyPuE314SDQ
